Chapter 90: Entering the Garden (2nd Watch)
Half a month later, it was Daiyu's birthday. One day in advance, the reward in the palace came down, and the one who came was still Yan Duo, and the gift list read: one set of clothes and shoes and socks for the four seasons, one set of each of the four seasons, a rectangular inkstone for the end stone, a copper smoker for Baoxianghua, a pair of wine and plum bottles in Ruyao drunken township, a pair of jade bottles for the boy holding lotus and Tian Yu, and a piece of Tian Huang Frozen Double Button Idle Chapter, and the jade pendant of the golden melon seeds that has not been leaked in previous years is not in the gift list.
Yan Duo held the bag of the bright yellow embroidered dragon with the seal in both hands and handed it to Daiyu, and said with a smile, "This is extra, the eighth master said that he only learned to do it to play, if the girl feels good, she will take it and play with it, it's not good, when it's done, I'll make it for the girl." ”
Daiyu took it and opened it, the jade is a good jade, but the carver is indeed immature, but when she saw the freshness, she said happily, "It's good, I feel good." ”
When she returned to the house, she asked someone to bring the ink, and after dipping the chapter in the ink, she pressed it on the rice paper, and saw that it was clearly the word "嫀嫀" in the small seal style. She was a little stunned for a while, and then she thought about it, her face was already red, and she snorted softly, and the seal almost fell off her hand, and she secretly sighed in her heart, and saw that it was all jade and yellow, without a little variegation, thinking about a piece of jade billet at a good end, but it was ruined by him, where was she willing to bump a little, so she took it to play with it on weekdays, and it was more satisfying than the handle of the Hetian jade boy holding the lotus.
Two days earlier, the old lady said that she wanted to give Daiyu a good birthday, Daiyu said, it was only the New Year, the fifteenth Lantern Festival of the first month was not idle, and Sister Bao's birthday was just over, and now she said that she wanted to give her a lively life, she smiled and said, "Grandmother's heart should not be too biased, she should always feel sorry for the housekeeper, and now Sister Feng is not busy every day when she watches people pack up the things for the New Year." ”
Mrs. Wang listened to it and said with a smile, "In the end, the girl is more honest and wants to get her Sister Feng." ”
After the New Year is over, Jia Yuanchun's will in the palace has also come down, saying that the Grand View Garden is idle and idle, and the girls are all moved in. After hearing this, Daiyu felt strange and asked repeatedly, saying that it was not said that Baoyu should move in together, so she felt strange.
When I got to the old lady's side, Mrs. Wang also came, and she came to talk about it, saying that she had sent her mother-in-law to clean it, and she had to place a bed tent or something.
Baoyu rolled in the old lady's arms, and had to move in with her, "The sisters all went in, but I didn't go in, I also took a fancy to the courtyard of Yihong Courtyard, thinking that I could go in and live for a few years, and after the sisters left, who will accompany me?" ”
Daiyu sat on the side, silently drinking tea, and Mrs. Wang sat on the side without speaking, as if she wanted the old lady to make a decision. Only the old lady was very rare, rubbing Baoyu's head, "I can't be the master of this matter, you want to live in, go to your Lao Tzu, and see if he beats you?" ”
He refused, only grinding the old lady, Daiyu smiled and said, "Second brother Bao, you are really, this matter is decided by the mother, first abide by the national law, and then abide by the family rules, in this matter, instead of begging the old lady, it is better to ask your aunt to enter the palace another day and ask for a permission for you!" ”
Baoyu had no choice but to get up and go to Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang couldn't help but glance at Daiyu, rubbed Baoyu's shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go into the palace tomorrow and ask Niangniang, but you also have to make a promise first, study well, and don't be naughty when you live in the courtyard!" ”
Baoyu was overjoyed when she heard this, and asked Daiyu, "Good sister, which place do you like?" Where are you going to stay? I looked at my sister's demure temperament, and the bamboo poles in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion were hidden with a curved railing, which was more quiet than elsewhere, which was quite suitable for my sister. It's close to my Yihong Courtyard, and it's cheap for us to move around. ”
Daiyu didn't want to live in it, but Yuanchun's will was to include her, and she didn't want to disobey it, she just felt that it was good to live anywhere. In the original work, Daiyu also lives in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, so she said, "Everything can be arranged by the second brother Bao." ”
On the second day, I heard that Madame Wang had entered the palace. Daiyu had breakfast in front of the old lady, and it was Zhou Rui's family who talked back and forth, and the old lady only nodded when she heard it, and asked Daiyu to help her, "Let's go to the courtyard and take a look at your Xiaoxiang Pavilion?" ”
Xifeng said that from here to the past, to walk a long way, so he asked someone to carry the soft sedan chair over, and Daiyu left and right to go to the Grand View Garden, from the five main entrances in, towards the left to the left, is a zigzag verandah, the stone paved path under the steps, a small three houses, one bright and two dark, the inside of the bed and chair case, inside the room into a small door, out is the backyard, a large pear tree, planted some plantains, two small regression.
Xifeng said that this room is a little smaller, thought about it, and said, "I see that Zilingzhou is not bad, that one is spacious, and there is a brocade building, the face is five, and there are five rooms upstairs, the girl lives upstairs, downstairs to entertain guests, the left and right verandahs, and five rooms in the back, and the girl is just right." ”
The old lady said to go and see, walked a few steps to the southwest, then saw a courtyard, the west side is near the water, the east side is against the mountain, the shore is knotweed and reed, the pond is green and fragrant, the front is a two-storey building, carved beams and painted buildings, it is very magnificent, go in and see, stand upstairs and go out to see the window, see the mountains and rivers have stacks, the old lady feels very good.
At noon, Mrs. Wang came back, and sure enough, she did not disappoint Baoyu, and the concubine agreed to come down, only saying that she must be disciplined well, "You must be good at raising you, if you are not strict, you can't make a weapon, and if you are too strict, you will not be afraid of being born, and it will cause your parents to worry." ”
For a while, Jia Zheng also knew about this, and called someone to find Baoyu to come over, and he was suddenly frightened like a mouse who listened to a cat's meow. Unlike in the original book, Daiyu occupied Zilingzhou, but Xiaoxiang Pavilion called Yingchun to live, and the others were still Xue Baochai lived in Wuyuan, Tanchun lived in Qiushuangzhai, Xichun lived in Lifengxuan, and Baoyu lived in Yihong Courtyard.
There are more mothers-in-law and maids who go to night everywhere, but Daiyu is here, there are originally many people, and it was inevitably a little crowded in the old lady's house before, and Lin Gui can't place more mothers-in-law here. Now, four mothers-in-law have been added in one go, and more than a dozen maids have filled Zilingzhou to the brim.
Daiyu lives upstairs, a total of five, fortunately the inside are all open, the bright room is still living, the east two are used as a study, the west two are used to sleep, the west partition is a lacquered carved lattice frame, after looking at it, she was overjoyed, and said with a smile, "Now, the girl's ornaments are used." ”
